Fair enough, roachboy. I see that's what's going on here. But before I stumble home, I want to be sure I have at least a couple of takeaways:

1) Among blacks, the main cause of single parenthood (i.e. motherhood) — and, consequently, the cause of poverty, crime, and all other social problems — is...being black.

2) Issues that blacks face in America shouldn't be addressed by whites...because we're white and we will never understand...and black culture is to blame anyway.

Did I get that right?
